Just wrapped up a gnarly incident that had our production services flatlining at 3 AM. Turns out, a memory leak in one of our microservices was slowly choking the entire cluster.
The fix? Rolled back the deployment, patched the leak, and implemented better resource limits in our K8s configs. Now we've got proper monitoring alerts set up so this won't blindside us again.
Lessons learned:
Always set memory limits on your containers
Monitor resource usage trends, not just current state
Have a solid rollback strategy before any deploy
Anyone else dealing with container sprawl issues? Would love to hear how you're handling it.
